Methoxymethylene Meldrum's acid 1 reacts with 5- and 6-membered lactams in refluxing acetonitrile to give the N-substituted products 9-15. If the reactions are continued for extended times, the Meldrum's acid derivatives decompose to provide enamidoesters e.g. 22-24. Flash vacuum pyrolysis of the 5-membered ring products 9-13 provides reasonable yields of the fused pyrrolones 31-35. The constitution of the products is supported by X-ray crystal structures of 10, 12, 19, 32 and 34.
甲氧基亚甲基丙二腈 1 与 5-和 6-元内酰胺在回流的乙腈中反应,生成 N-取代产物 9-15。如果反应持续时间延长,丙二腈衍生物会分解生成烯酰胺酯,例如 22-24。5-元环产物 9-13 的闪速真空热解提供了合理收率的稠合吡咯酮 31-35。产物的结构得到了 10、12、19、32 和 34 的 X 射线晶体结构的支持。
